Swim Team Groups

The Rogue Rapids Swim Team can help youth swimmers progress from the novice level to a state, regional, national or  international-level competitor. Each swim team group has specific, objective, progressive technique and skill goals and time standards. Athletes will have the opportunity to advance through the team levels as they grow, develop, and learn.


The Rogue Rapids proudly provide scholarships to support athletes wishing to participate on the team.
